Which Kelly is this again?
The Philadelphia Eagles have taken their sweet time finding a new head coach but they have finally found one. Chip Kelly of Oregon originally said he wasn't going to leave the Ducks after meeting with several NFL teams earlier this month. It seems that he has reconsidered after realizing that Oregon was always going to fall short of a National Title. So Chip Kelly has agreed to become the next Philadelphia Eagles head coach.
So what does this mean? Is Michael Vick actually going to come back? What will happen with Nick Foles? Will there be a totally different quarterback? Will the Philadelphia fans actually be nice? (no they won't)
Whatever it does mean, it certainly suggests that the high tempo offense that Kelly brought to Oregon will be brought to the NFL. Now certainly the league is showing that there are plenty of QB's that can play in his system but the Eagles might not have one of those if they and Michael Vick do part ways. Also, the Oregon offense is dependent on good running backs. Are LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown good enough for that system? Is the line good enough to run block?
With Chip Kelly in Philly, that means a vacancy in Oregon. Someone call Emilio Estevez. Wait... that's stupid. He's a hockey coach, this is football.
